bob, what did she have to say? >> reporter: good morning to you, marla. she didn't want to speak on camera for fear of jeopardizing the police investigation, but off camera she tells me she is doing okay and it seems if it weren't for her quick, very gutsy thinking, police might not have been able to arrest this man right here. you're looking at the mug shot of a 29-year-old transient accused of breaking into her house overnight. he is on parole for a previous burglary. he's also a registered sex offender. now, the lady who lives on southbrook drive in south san jose tells me she awoke to find him standing over her in bed. she chased him out of the house, told him to keep running because she was calling the police. i said, wow, that's pretty gutsy. she tells me she always had that instinct in her. officers were able to set up a perimeter within 90 seconds since coincidentally they were already patrolling the area for other quality of life crimes in that neighborhood. she was able to give them a very

good description. she did fall asleep with the tv on. campo was found within minutes. >> the fact that they were able to respond in less than two minutes, lock the area down, he probably came out and tried to pretend that he was just a nearby resident because he figured there was so many officers in the area that he wasn't going to be able to avoid detection very long. so he probably rolled the dice and tried to trick us into thinking he was somebody who lived in the area. >> reporter: campo was arrested, as i mentioned. he was wearing an ankle monitoring bracelet as required by law. he also tried to avoid capture using a police scanner app installed on his smartphone. the sergeant commenting that's just a sign of the level of sophistication criminals will go to today even though in this case it did not help him. the woman thinks he forced his way through a window she left unlocked in the kitchen. she wishes her husband had been

there. she's thankful her daughters weren't. report live, bob redell, nbc bay area news. >> thank you very much. we have new video of a memorial for a teenage girl killed in an alleged dui crash over the weekend. friends continue leaving flowers and tokens for the 17-year-old. the high school student was reportedly a long distance runner who was about to run her very first meet for the school. she was killed saturday night while crossing sloat boulevard at vale avenue. there is a crosswalk there but no stoplight or stop sign. police arrested 29-year-old kieran brewer at the scene for vehicular manslaughter. today the board of supervisors is expected to approve nearly $800,000 in pedestrian safety improvements along that area. and a memorial is also growing this time in the south bay for the 18-year-old gunned down in campbell over the weekend, and the search for his

shooter continues today. campbell police say richard vega was walking just north of the campbell community center sunday night when someone came up to him and shot him multiple times. he was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery, but did not survive. >> from what we know it could just have been a mistaken identity, mistaking him for something else, because he wasn't -- he wasn't into anything negative. >> vega was a santa clara high school graduate. grief counselors are at the school this morning talking to former classmates. about 150 of them gathered at the school's football field last night to remember and reflect. now, campbell police say a dark-colored car was seen leaving that scene after the shooting. if you know anything, you're asked to call campbell police. just into our newsroom, santa clara county will spending a million dollars to replace a county supervisor. they just voted to hold a

half cent sales tax increase. another is a bond measure that would cost homeowners about $100 per year. meteorologist rob mayeda is in for christina loren talking about the rain that is on the way. >> still up on the north coast so you might notice the clouds are starting to spill into the bay area. the winds are really starting to kick up out of the south. temperatures mostly mid to upper 50s. the wind directions southeast at 11 in san jose. now southwest at 23 in novato. we'll see wind speeds close to 30 miles per hour later on this afternoon. that will change as that cold front, which is dropping down the coast, makes raindrop back into the bay area by this afternoon for the north bay. then for the entire bay area by 9:00 tonight changing over to showers as we head into early tomorrow. so the most rain we've seen so far this year will likely fall with a single storm. a moderately strong winter storm that will pack quite a punch for

the sierra. over a foot of fresh powder above 5,000 feet. that's not the end of the rain and snow. we'll show you the rest of the weather headed our way coming up in the seven-day forecast in just a few minutes. back to you. getting ready to live. just a few hours from now caltrans will flip the switch on a massive light display on that bay bridge. >> kristi smith is live where they are getting ready for the show. >> reporter: good morning to you, marla. you know restaurants all up and down the embarcadero are very busy this morning gearing up like this is the big game. many with the best view are already booked up and expect to be busy as the lights are switched on tonight. but with a seat or without a seat, people are determined to find the best view. those lucky enough to already have a front row seat to the bay light show picked restaurants like sinbad's fast. >> is there any room at sinbad's tonight for those who have not made a reservation?

>> unfortunately, we've been taking -- fill up already for two days now. we're entirely closed out for the night. >> reporter: tom stinson is the manager. he'll be in the house when bay lights officially is unveiled. light sculpture leo villareal creation. >> from what i've seen so far, it's so many different patterns and displays that go on, that each and every one offers its own amusement. >> reporter: there are several prime viewing spots. the embarcadero, of course, a favorite as the lights are on the north side. >> phenomenal. it's stunning. >> reporter: keith rada has one of the closest locations of all, water bar. tonight, though, the restaurant is invitation only. a party for the grand lighting ceremony. he gives the rehearsals rave reviews and thinks the crowds will too. >> it's such a beautiful

project. the bridge is stunning in its own rite and to have this beautiful fine art light show going on over our beautiful san francisco bay really is generating a lot of excitement and a lot of buzz. >> reporter: back here live, this $8 million project was privately funded. the ceremony starts at 8:30 and the lights are flipped on after that. if you miss it, the light patterns will run in the evening for at least two years. we also spoke with a number of people who said they made plans for this as well that don't include restaurants. they're going to go ahead and get on a boat and dock right out there and watch the show. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, nbc bay area news. >> no doubt about it, the best show in town tonight. >> looking forward to it. well, the sistine chapel now closed. the vatican locking down and getting ready for the conclave. we'll have that story coming up. plus the caped crusader unmasked. we'll show you who the man is behind that mask and why he's doing what he's doing. plus we'll take a look at

the stock market, also a great show today with brand new records. that's ahead in business news. and then a shocking discovery in florida, where a new sinkhole has formed, causing a number of forms to evacuate.

right now we have developing news to tell you about. we've just learned tesla is cutting jobs. >> business and tech reporter scott mcgrew is following this story. scott, is this really a surprise? >> well, it is a surprise as to when it came and how it came, but this is something tesla has hinted at in its yearly report that it issued just at the end of the year. it said it expected to get some efficiencies on the assembly line. so it says it is cutting some jobs on the assembly line as we ramp up the model s. apparently they're learning how to make the model s better and better and quicker and quicker and some of those jobs are going away. they do say those are temporary jobs. now, tesla implies about 4,000

people. they won't break down how many actually work on the assembly line for us so we're not sure how many jobs are affected, but the company does say by the end of the year they hope to have more employees then than they do now so perhaps hiring in the engineering department. i've got other news for you and that is the dow industrials. good morning, dow industrials. 14,264. you see it on the big board there. that is an all-time record. the previous record was 14,200 set in 2007. it's a bit hard to explain the fervor on wall street. you've got the sequester, the trouble in europe, great britain, european union in recession. and, jon and marla, if you wanted to be a real spoil sport, ruin everybody's fun, the way you calculate the dow is by adding up the prices of the 30 industrial stocks, right? there's more complicated math later, but the point is here it doesn't take inflation into account. so if you then compare it to 2007, we didn't beat the record.

but phooey on that. i've got one more for you and that's google. it's setting records, spiking this morning at 838 before settling back a bit. apple is even a little hi higher too, trading places with exxon. so as of right now 1114, apple is the most valuable company in america. >> march 5th will go down in the history books. >> for sure, lots of records. >> good stuff, scott. thank you very much. we move on to weather now. rob mayeda is here to tell us about rain on the way for us. >> right now the numbers we're seeing going up would be wind speeds around the bay area as we see the wind picking up out of the south. a cold front on approach late this afternoon. in the north bay we'll see winds up to 30 miles an hour. you can clearly see the rain offshore. there's a big area of low pressure which will spin a cold front our way which unfortunately means we'll head out to the official kickoff for the bay lights, be prepared for breezy and at times rainy conditions.

temperatures in the low 50s after 7:00. there you can see the rain blasting through the bay area. tomorrow morning we'll see scattered showers and then i think the next window of widespread rain is going to develop again into thursday. as cold air aloft settles into the bay area, look east of san jose. you've got snow at mt. hamilton. even the hills south of livermore indicate we'll probably get snow levels down close to 3500 feet or maybe locally lower as we get into thursday night. that is something to also watch. friday notice how the showers cartwheel away from the bay area. that's the transition to drier weather that we'll see arriving as we head toward the weekend. today mostly wind to start, we'll be mostly cloudy by mid-afternoon. then the rain arrives after sundown for most of the bay area today. then tomorrow scattered showers, cooler temperatures and highs in the mid-50s. friday we clear out and that's the beginning of another drying trend that will place us back into the 60s and 70s again by the time we get out of this upcoming weekend. so stormy weather on the way the next three days or so and then things clear out just in time

for saturday and sunday. back to you, marla. >> thanks so much. new worries in florida after another sinkhole opens up. this one was found around 6:00 this morning at a home in pin nell as county. a woman inside the home called 911 after she heard a cracking noise. several homes in the area have been evacuated as a precaution. no one was hurt. now, this new sinkhole comes just days after a sinkhole opened up in a nearby county swallowing a man as he was just sleeping in his own bed. that hole is now filled with debris from the demolished home. a total of five cardinals still need to get to vatican city before a date can be set for the start of the conclave to elect a new pope. they are expected to arrive sometime tomorrow. today marks day two of the preconclave meeting. anne thauompson has a look at what's happening behind closed doors. >> reporter: here at vatican

city they closed the sistine chapel before the conclave to elect the new pope. the cardinals will vote for the 266th pontiff of the catholic church, but we still don't have a start date for that conclave. >> i believe the feel of the cardinals is we want to have enough time in the general congregations so that when we go to the conclave itself, it's a time of decision. >> reporter: only 110 of the 115 cardinal electors are actually here in rome. now, this morning all the cardinals who are here, they held another meeting and at that meeting they approved a message to be sent to benedict pope emeritus and also scheduled a prayer service wednesday evening open to the public in st. peter's basilica. at that service they will pray for the good of all the catholic church. now, we also understand that at this morning's meeting 11

welcome back. a stolen yacht that ran aground in pacifica yesterday morning is now docked in richmond. the damaged ship, called darling, glided into the ship yard early this morning. overnight crews used a tugboat to free the ship from the beach. it's been hoisted out of the water so it can be checked for damage. >> we do know the rudder is bent. i suspect the propeller is bent. probably the shaft as well. there's probably got to be some

damage to the hull itself. >> now, the ship drew crowds of spectators yesterday after it got stuck in shallow water with three alleged boat thieves on board. the coast guard and police negotiated with these three people, whooech eventually came shore and were arrested. according to the marin independent journal, bail has been set at a million dollars for all three suspects. as for the damage on the boat, it's expected to cost about $500,000. all right. los gatos moving forward with an emergency moratorium on new gun dealers. the town council approving the moratorium just last night. it also voted to have the city staff research a potential ordinance that would change the town's policy on gun dealers. the moves are in response to the opening of templar sports, a new gun store that opened in los gatos in late december and a lot of people in that town feel they should have had a public debate when it was opening up its doors and had a debate on whether or

not it should be allowed to do that. new details about where an assault rifle stolen from an unmarked san francisco police car was actually discovered. police tell us it was recovered at a home in oakland yesterday. a number of people inside that home were detained and questioned, but so far there are no arrests. the ar-15 was ripped off saturday night from a parked and secure police car. the tsa is relaxing its rules for the first time since the september 11th attacks. starting april 25th, people will be allowed to carry small pocket knives onto planes provided they are shorter than 2.4 inches and skinnier than a half inch. passengers will also be allowed to take golf clubs, hockey sticks and plastic wiffle ball style pats. the changes put the tsa more in line with international reg raising. we'll have one more quick look at your forecast coming up. ♪
